Every student has strengths and weaknesses, and these should be determined for efficient tutoring. I believe in helping the student to learn and making sure they have the knowledge and help to understand the material themselves.
I have eight years of tutoring experience for students ranging from second grade to high school seniors. This tutoring has been in a variety of topics, from elementary phonics to high school geometry to handwriting. I have also had experience in tutoring for standardized tests such as the SAT, ACT, and FCAT.

To make learning interesting and fun to the student, I use the participation approach to teaching. This interactive process makes the student interested in learning. I have taught on the college level as well as high school and leanred that this is the best approach.

Literally all my life I have been asked by students, parents and teachers to help students who were having trouble. I get tremendous fulfillment from watching someone who has been frustrated finally "get it." In addition to teaching music lessons, tutoring all subjects, and homeschooling my own two children, I have worked for the last 17 years with a private school. There I have taught a wide variety of subjects, but they depend on me the most heavily for high school sciences and maths. I am currently a registered substitute teacher, state certified to teach music and high school math, and I am working toward certification in more subjects. Due to my own hunger for education, I am actively pursuing a Masters Degree in Math Education.
When I begin tutoring a new student, my first objective is for us to get to know each other. The student will not be able to receive very much from me ... read more

I was the valedictorian of my graduating high school class and one of the top high school math and science students in the nation, but I was not always a stellar student. For instance, I received a “D” in math in the second grade. I attribute my transformation to an "A" student at least partially to my third grade teacher in whose class my math grades improved dramatically and I jumped from the lowest to the highest reading group. She helped boost my confidence, made me feel like I could actually do better, and made me excited about learning. My tutoring reflects my strong belief that achieving some or all of the latter can positively impact students' long-term learning.
I am just as comfortable tutoring students in math and science as in reading and writing. As a secondary school student, I received a number of top science honors, such as first place honors in several state scienc ... read more

As indicated previously, I believe all children can learn. More importantly, parents and teachers can learn a great deal from their children, specifically by listening and recognizing what motivates, excites, and draws the child in. I am extremely patient, but firm in drive and conviction to provide the best educational opportunity for every student.
As a life long learner, the parent of two school age children, and a business professional, I continue to be intrigued and encouraged by the willingness of students to learn. As an adult student earning a bachelors and masters degree, I gained a passion for education as I was not the typical college student. Rather, I was a very typical high school student, and later a part time college student, who was not prepared for college. My passion is to bring out the best learner any student can be, plain and simple. Through my work as a ... read more

I am very interactive with the student and I want them to see me as a friend. I for one do not like to be told what to do and how to do it, that never helps me learn. It is better when you feel you are working towards a common goal with your superior. I want my student to feel free to talk to me about anything, and to enjoy learning the material he or she is struggling with. You simply do not learn as much when you dread coming into the classroom everyday. I like to make games out of the work. Whether that has to do with an intensive game to really build the learning level, or a game just to release some tension and build my students confidence.
As a college athlete I always have been encouraged to help out the community. Because of my high level of math, I knew that I could really help others learn the material in a fun way. Math is something that has always been easy to me, ... read more

I really enjoy working with youth and helping them learn. I have faith that all children can flourish given the proper chances. I believe in making learning enjoyable, which is why my teaching style is based on mutual respect. I am patient, laid back, and I employ a rewards-based learning system. I’ve found that it is most helpful to relate subject material to the child’s interests, and so I do that often. I am always available to help, even through phone and email. I strive to make a positive difference in the world, and once I am committed to something, I give myself wholeheartedly.
As a student at the University of Florida, I am very driven to succeed in academia as well as help others. I have taken several credit hours of education classes. Additionally, I hold a paraprofessional certificate which allows me to be a teacher assistant. During the past couple of years, I have tuto ... read more

Teaching has been a source of great pleasure for me. While I was working at regular full-time jobs, I usually had a part-time teaching position. Over a period of 16 years, I have taught more than 50 classes at community colleges, four-year colleges and universities. I also tutored children and high school students, mostly for friends, and mostly for the fun of it. Four of my five children have gone on to engineering or computer science degrees and really love their work. As a manager, I saw myself as a teacher also. I found that an open-minded team approach brings out the best abilities in everyone, when they feel safe to contribute, whether on a work team or in a class room.
In my experience, fear and self-consciousness interfere the most with learning. This seems especially true of arithmetic and higher levels of math. I don't believe that children should force themselves ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I like the Socratic methodology - asking lots of probing questions that help students eventually come to "see" the correct answer for themselves. I also use humor and current references to keep my teaching relevant and interesting to my students.
My professional career has been in the field of private club management. I currently serve as a Principal & Senior Partner in Master Club Advisors. As part of my duties, I have given professional development programs, leadership orientations and strategic planning sessions to individual private club leaders, students, and international club managers associations on six continents. I am the only person to have twice been named the club industry “Educator of the Year”. I have published two books, with my third due out later this year.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that any student can learn given the right environment, the appropriate tools, and a patient and caring teacher. I enjoy working with students of every age, from struggling college students to young children having difficulties with basic Math and English. There is nothing more satisfying for me as a teacher than to open the window of understanding for the students I work with, and to see the light of comprehension come into his or her eyes with every “ah-ha!” moment. I believe that successful learning is a two way process that encompasses not only what I am able to teach my students, but what I can learn from them as well to help me become a better teacher.
In 1976 I left the blue-collar world and returned to college, strongly motivated to learn. In 1980 I acquired a BA in Geography (3.81 gpa in my major, 3.53 overall), with a minor degree in Environmental Geology (3.6 g ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in "Yes, You Can!", instead of "No, You Can't." Positive reinforcement and an emphasis upon disciplinary "best practices" can fertilize the seeds of personal and academic growth. In particular, I believe in focusing upon HOW a student learns. For instance, if a student learns visually, I like to tailor learning strategies toward that student's strength.
My educational background is stellar. The most important tool that I have acquired during all of those years, however, is NOT memorization, NOT spelling or grammar - it's the ability to THINK. Looking at the "Big Picture" enables me to see beyond the immediate problem, to find long-term, sustainable solutions. This skill extends across disciplines--whether they be English, mathematics, history or Spanish.

Not only do I love to teach and help students learn, I also enjoy helping students develop an appreciation for learning in general. The most gratifying experience while teaching is the look on a student's face, after hours of confusion, after they reach an understanding of the concept. The environment that I believe works the best is one that allows the student to have fun while learning; which creates a more positive environment for future learning. I remember my experiences with teachers that not only instructed lessons, but also brought fun and enjoyment to the experience. I try to follow in their footsteps, and lead other students to a similar appreciation.
